Thanks for your Box Tops

Submitted by joann.kirk on

The amazing student council organized a box top contest.   Hoping for a great summer! was the theme of the competition. THIS WAS A LITTLE different then most box tops in the past. They made it competitive and pitted the boys against the girls.  The winners won 15 minutes of extra recess on Monday.  Every day the winners were announced. The score keeper, the beautiful poster out front, had little frogs that represented 50 boxtops, purple for girls, green for boys.

Our Parkview choir is so amazing! Ms.Diana is the teacher.  They have worked so hard ever scince January. For the concert, they sang a unique song called Instruments. Next the choir sang I Can Go the Distance from Hercules. After that, the choir sang an inspiring song about how we can change the world, by Bridgit Mendler.  The hand actions were so cool! Then there was a Whitney Houston song, One Moment in Time.

It Pays to Read Assembly Honors Those Who Have Read

Submitted by joann.kirk on

It was fun!  It was loud! There were prizes!  It was the "It Pays to Read Assembly".  I personally loved it.  There were 2 people picked from each class who got to shoot baskets to earn money.  Payson High Basketball players were also there to make baskets.  Students could earn ten dollars.  And if someone made a half court shot, then they could spin the wheel.  Let me tell you, there were tons of pie in the principal's face. The lower grades got lots of tokens for whole class or pie in Mrs. Ore's face. There were some big winners.
